A great budget recipe. Minced chicken (you could use pork too) with grated carrot, cilantro (coriander) and couscous. Perfect in a burger or with a salad or veggies. Serve with sauce of your choice, my kids like tomato/ketchup but I like sweet chili. These need at least 30 minutes refrigeration time.

How To Make betty's chicken and couscous (burger) patties

Place the couscous in a bowl and pour 1 cup of boiling water. Give a quick stir and cover with cling wrap. Set aside for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and leave to cool.
